Databases and Alternate hosts

| posted 01 Oct, 2015 20:11
Hello! I'm trying to get Phamerator up and going for my phages using the 2015 VM. We will be annotating both mycobacteriophages and propionibacterio phages. For the myco' I have updated the Phamerator database, but don't see my new phages, even though it says they have been phamerated. Can you please post the server location and database names I should be using?

Hi Jordan,

Apologies, we haven't done a great job of letting everyone know the updated Phamerator settings. We've combined all of the Actinobacteria phages into a single Phamerator database. It is now available by using the following settings in Phamerator (go to Edit–>Preferences in Phamerator to change these values).

Take care to type exactly, because these are all case-sensitive and must be input exactly as shown.

Server:
http://phamerator.webfactional.com/databases_Hatfull

Database:
Actino_Draft

After entering both of these values, click "Force Database Update". Wait while Phamerator updates, then it'll prompt you to restart. Do that. If you're prompted for a password at any point, it should be simply: "phage".

Hi

I had the exact same question. I just forced an update (the settings were already as shown in Dan's post, but my phage still don't show up. I'm looking for timmi and briton15

yep - it showed up now. I found Timmi and he wasn't trapped in a well.

Thanks

I never understood why Timmi was so interested in playing near wells all the time. Glad to hear he's safe and you've figured out the Phamerator issue!
